Flow Minx-SE Snowboard Bindings - Women's 2013

Get noticed on the slopes with the Flow Minx-SE Snowboard Bindings. Kris Markovich's original art is teamed up with Flow's Hybrid PowerCapStrap, giving you the option of either rear or side-entry. The LSR-Buckles make on the go adjustments a snap while locking in your settings all day long. Combine the TWEAK.6 topzone and KushControl hiback technology and you have one of the most comfortable bindings around - a perfect mix of stunning aesthetics and functionality.

Hybrid PowerCapStrap - This revolutionary hybrid between the Flow SpeedEntry and 2-strap SideEntry merges the best of both worlds. A 3D-shaped anklestrap diagonally covers the mid-foot for pressure distribution and energy transfer to the toe side through the 3-point VeeToe mounting. A toe cap delivers perfect boot positioning for control.

LSR-Buckles - LockingSlapRatchet-buckles give you the ability to make on-the-fly adjustments with the large ratchet-levers and enable you to easily go in and out in seconds.

Specs

Ability Level:Advanced-Expert

Advanced-Expert

Whether you charge the steepest lines, carve with race-like precision, hit the biggest jumps or halfpipes; advanced to expert level skis/snowboards are for the more aggressive rider. You will often find the addition of layers of metal, carbon, bamboo, or other stringers in these. These features work to make a stiffer ski/snowboard with more power and rebound.

Flex Rating:Stiff

Stiff

The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.

Very poor design. Money was no object I just wanted the latest design. Problem is the toe strap doesn't slip over the toe it hangs down and makes boot entry to the binding a pain. It turns a easy to use part into a difficult to use part. Next first run out the back cushion blew off. I returned and ordered the conventional Flows and life should be great.

If you like the original flow binding you will love these more. It has the best of both worlds with original easy entry and release matched with buckle adjustable straps all other bindings use. You can tighten and loosen with out having to sit in the snow. These binding are great, super comfortable and easy to use. I don't ride the park so not sure how they do with jumps and tricks but awesome for freeriding in all kinds of snow conditions

The toe cap certainly gives you more control, but it doesn't always hit in the right place on boot entry. I removed both toe caps, swapped sides and installed them upside down. That fit better, but I still had to do adjustments everytime I stepped in by hand. It's a small amount more work to enter than the original flow binding, but not much. Overall, I'm happy and sticking with the new binding. The ratchets work easily too.

Ok, so I love the IDEA of these bindings. There are, however, a couple issues.

1- The strap that clicks in to hold the toe and the part that goes over your foot are connected. This means in order to get the toe strap high enough you have to have the part over the foot further back than it would naturally go. Since the part of the boot that goes over my arch is a little tall (I guess?) it is hard to get the toe strap up as high as I'd like it.

2- While it is AWESOME that you can step in standing up and flip the back up, you cannot clip in with the rear entry if you are sitting in the snow.

If you can look past these two things, or they don't bother you, these bindings are great.

These were suggested to me by my older brother. I wanted some help looking for beginner items. He suggested these because they are bindings that have longevity. He has been snow boarding for about 15 years on double black diamonds. I'm really happy that I could get them! I can't wait to use them on the mountain.

I am an advanced freerider and also a snowboarding coach (note: NOT an instructor, a coach) and these bindings are amazing. Personally, I love that they give me solid hold and a medium flex. Great response on the groomers but if I feel like hitting the park I am able to adjust in an instant. The rear plus side entry option is awesome. While coaching, I'm on and off my board multiple times so the rear entry is essential, but when I'm riding and want to fine tune adjustments, the side entry and ratchets are amazing for the perfect fit. Seriously awesome bindings. I have Flow boots so for me these fit effortlessly, can't voice an opinion for other boots though.
